Yes, although the bird looks interesting, I also believe that the photos are
not sufficient to rule out a Ringed Plover. Would be great to get more pictures!

G'day all
My 2c worth!
Fascinating record if it turns out to be correct but I'm skeptical. My only
knowledge of these two species are a couple of sightings of breeding plumage
birds each in Texas (Semi-palmated) and Ireland and South Africa (Ringed).
I agree it's not 100 % right for Ringed but I've had a look at the 4th pic from
Matt Slaymaker and can't see any palmations in the feet. These should be
visible in this photo.
See

More photos would be great.
Cheers
Steve
